Monza Exhaust

I bought my car, and it came with a Monza exhaust.

My question to you Speedster experts . . . is it supposed to be that loud? I find myself cranking my stereo up to almost the speed of sound. Is there a quieter exhaust? If so, whaadya guys recommend?

Thanks,

Joe in NJ

My suggestion, Hmmm...

300 Watts! He, He...

Monza exhausts over time clog up from a rich fuel mixture I have seen this a number of times. Yes they are loud...an old German gentleman once said .....

"When you have a car like this, you listen to the music of the engine !"

I heard Jeromes car and you find yourself saying WHAT????AFTER, WHAT? Dude go for loud, it makes up for SLOW...

Joe, after a couple of years with my IM (fairly loud Magnaflow) I just turned the stereo off and left it off. I'd rather listen to the sound of the exhaust...especially over 4000 rpm.

The engine is music to my ears. I removed the stereo. If I want listen to music I stay home or drive the toyota.

Happiness is hearing a well-tuned aircooled engine in the morning.

It 'sounds' like you need to take a trip to a good muffler shop.
I dumped the monza exhaust for reasons of better performance and the interim result was more exhaust sound, competing with my stereo. The monza was the easiest on my ears in matters stereo!

I added two more speakers and it wasn't enough really as I had again modified the exhaust for performance reasons and this time out, had a really sweet (menacing) exhaust note which I believe another club member is wrasslin' with today!

I went back to the stereo shop and again added oomph to the stereo (two more speakers mounted in an old suitcase which rides with me permanently and replaced the original two with larger units) in anticipation of yet more engine/exhaust competion.

I think I now have the 'balance' I was seeking. The engine is a bit demonic into the upper r-r-r-r-r's, but for cruisin' the stereo is all it should be...folks don't know what just rolled up when they hear the pipe organ entro from Phantom of the Opera!

Paul,

It was surreal when you were following Rick and myself when we pulled out of JPS after depositing my broken hearted Speedy right before Knotts. Rick and I pulled up to a stop light in the questionable neighborhood south of JPS when I heard this soprano singing that signature song from the "Phantom". I was flipped out before I realized it was coming from your tub. What a nice touch on a disasterous for me, thanks.

Paul,

No wrasslin' here....just grinnin when the cam gets happy!

Only wrasslin is with the jetting... and that's more of a fine tuning thing.

Still smilin'

I have taken everyone's advice . . . more speakers, more wattage . . . more what, huh, what, huh

Yeah, huh?
